Nils Frahm: Graz (LP)

"Graz" features previously unpublished recordings of the young Nils Frahm at the beginning of his career. The album was recorded at the House of Music and Performing Arts at the University of Art in Graz as part of his final project. Nils Frahm has quietly changed the musical landscape, reincarnating the centuries-old figure of the pianist-composer for a new generation of music fans. As Nils' word-of-mouth grew and grew, so did the pop-cultural profile of his instrument. To support this process, he founded Piano Day in 2015 with a team of like-minded friends, who have been releasing an album of piano recordings to celebrate one of humanity's greatest inventions Graz is one such recording; an unheard snapshot of young Nils recorded at Mumuth, the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, in 2009 as part of the Thomas Geiger-produced dissertation Conversations for Piano and Room.
